Important Update: Borderless is now live, and we’ve raised capital to move the mission forward. I decided 10 years ago to actively contribute to the empowerment of Africans and Africa, and this next move is a significant step forward. When we began this journey, we didn’t have all the answers — just a clear conviction: that our continent holds immense potential, and that we needed better tools, more trust, and bold, collective action to unlock it. Today, I’m proud to share that Borderless is now live, we’ve closed our pre-seed fundraising round, and I recently spoke with my friend Tage Kene-Okafor at TechCrunch to share more about how we got here. I will later write about how this fundraise was the hardest thing I've done, but I'm grateful to many who've backed me with capital and more. The platform is now live, and we are onboarding the first set of collectives this week. It's going to be slow, so please bear with us. To every backer, believer, and early user: thank you. Thanks to the HoaQ community for being my biggest investor. To my outstanding team, thank you for getting us this far! It's been a hell of a journey, but we are just getting started.
